InLine 18745 telephone cable 5 m grey RJ-12 to RJ-12 6-core 6P6C round modular data cable

The InLine 18745 telephone cable is a reliable 5-meter modular round data cable designed for efficient voice and data transmission. Equipped with RJ-12 connectors on both ends and a 6-core 6P6C pinout, this cable provides a stable connection for compatible hardware. Built with pure copper conductors and a flexible round profile, it ensures dependable performance across various telecommunication and control setups.

Advantages

This cable utilizes pure copper conductors with an AWG26 cross-section to significantly reduce line resistance, maintaining consistent signal quality even over longer distances. The fully pinned 6P6C design connects all six contacts, making it versatile for applications requiring a complete signal path. Moulded RJ-12 connectors enhance mechanical durability, protecting the interface during frequent plugging and unplugging. Furthermore, the flexible round construction allows for easier routing and neater cable management compared to traditional flat cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting telecommunication devices with RJ-12 interfaces
• Voice and data transmission in office or home networks
• Control, regulation, and sensor systems requiring 6-wire connections
• Structured cabling setups in technical environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not compatible with standard RJ-45 Ethernet computer network ports, as the physical connector size and pin count differ. It is also not intended for high-power electrical transmission or applications requiring longer reach than the 5-meter physical limitation without amplification.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector 1: RJ-12 male
• Connector 2: RJ-12 male
• Core configuration: 6-core 6P6C
• Conductor material: Pure copper
• Wire size: AWG 26
• Cable shape: Round
• Colour: Grey

How to use

To use the cable, insert the RJ-12 connector from one end into the designated RJ-12 port of the first device until you hear a secure click. Route the flexible round cable carefully along your desired path, avoiding sharp bends or pinching points that could damage the internal wiring. Finally, plug the remaining RJ-12 connector into the second compatible device until it clicks into place. Ensure both devices are powered off or idle if specified by the equipment manufacturer before connecting.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your devices feature standard RJ-12 interfaces and require a 6-core 6P6C connection
• Measure the distance between your devices to ensure the 5-meter length is sufficient without excessive slack
• Check if your installation environment benefits from a round cable profile rather than a flat alternative

Usage recommendations: Route the cable away from heavy power lines and electromagnetic interference sources to maintain optimal signal integrity. Inspect the moulded connectors periodically for dust or debris and avoid pulling the cable by the cord itself when disconnecting.
